Jasper n. Bryan one Of the oldest farm
ers in Georgia, lives about three miles west
of Marshallville, in the house where he first
saw the light of this world. He owns the
old homestead, including several hundred
acres of land-many lying upon the river,
and are as rich as Mississippi bottom-has
never lived at any other place, and up to
the day he entered the Confederate army
had never been ten miles from home. After
spendng four years in camps. fighting the
Yankees he returned to his home, and mar
ried and has reared a large family. Up to
ten days ago he had never been a mile east
of the depot, had never seen the hundreds
of acres III fruits and nursery stock of the
Rumphs, Moore and Murph, living lust east
of town, and while riding through these or
chartls a few days since was perfectly aston
lshed at their beauty and magnitude. Mr.
Bryan is well-rcad prosperous farmer
but sticks closer to his business, probably
than any man of his means in all the State
At cambridge Thursday morning at
O'Clock, a negro crept into the second story
sleeping apartment of two young ladies,
making his entrance through a window
which was partially closed and which
opened upon the rear shed rooms of the
house. The roof of the shed rooms was
reached by climbing a tree which stood
near the caves, and creeping along the roof
he opened the window enough to admit
the passage of his body. The noise of
opening the window awoke one of the
young ladies, who surprising it to be the
wind rafting the sash, lay still until she
heard some one breathing near the bed.
She at once aroused her sister with whom
she was sleeping, and told her to get the
lamp from the table while she struck a
match. Springing from the bed, the younger
sister sprang over the negro, who was on
his all-fours by the bed. BY the light of
the match she recognized the form and
celor of mulatto named George McNahb,
well known by almost everybody in the
city. Seeing that it really was some one both
ladies screamed Justify and the villain made
his escape through the way he had come
jumping TO the ground some twelve feet be-
low. Soon after daylight next morning,
Deputy Marshal Farnell arrested the negro
and he is now in Jail.
Last Thursday night a young colored
woman and her infant of three months AZ
rived in Cartersville from Chattanooga
The woman mingled among her race the
following day, and made several attempts
to give her baby away That night not
succeeding in disposng of it, she conceived
the idea of leaving it on some ones door
step. Passing along Marshal Wilkerson's
residence, in the northeast portion of town,
she noticed that the house was dark, and
concluded that the folks were at the meet
ing. She approached the veranda and laid
the infant thereon and left it, going TO the
depot intending to b )ard the next train for
Atlanta. Fortunately, the little one began
crying, which was heard by neighbors, who
began an investigation. The child was
found and the alarm was given. Night
police Henry Ford happened to be at the
depot and noticed the same woman that had
gotten off the down train the night before
without the child He became suspicious,
and when he heard of the stray one on the
veranda he at once arrested the woman
Marshal Wilkerson arrived on the spot soon
after and both carried the woman to where
the child was found. She pleaded hard for
forgiveness, saying her name was Lula Cato
and her home was in Atlanta She said
that young physician in Atlanta was the
father of the child, and that she felt her dis
grace deeply and did not know how to get
rid of her child any other way. She was
perfectly heartless and during the following
day succeeded in giving it to a colored
couple who will take good care of it.
